They are produced from imported seeds, grown in our general bonsai soil mix in black plastic bags/pots in full sun.  Their growth is compact with short internodal lengths.

Grafting of White Pine onto Black Pine rootstock.

For shipping purposes trees will be watered, wrapped in clingwrap to protect the soil and protect against access moisture loss.  When you receive your tree remove it from its packaging, water well and place in a protected area for a few days before working the tree, gradually exposing the tree to more sunlight.

Due to the transport and the wrapping inside a dark container they will not be used to the direct sunlight and too much direct sunlight immediately will cause sunburn.

Do note the time of season and what you can safely do to the tree at that time if the year.
